Embracing Montreal’s Diversity Through Ink

Since 2006, Tattoo Box in Montreal has always been more than the tattoo shop near me; it’s a mirror of the city’s diverse populace. Catering to a wide range of styles and preferences, from the poor to the celebrity, we’ve inked stories from every corner of the globe, right in the heart of Montreal’s metropolitan area.

Our commitment extends beyond the studio. Tattoo Box has been at the forefront of supporting Montreal’s LGBT homeless and refugees affected by global crises. We’ve proudly participated in fundraisers for the Haitian earthquake victims and created clothing drives the Syrian civil war refugees, demonstrating our belief in art as a tool for social change.

Legacy of Founder Kate: A Heart for Community

Kate, Tattoo Box’s founder, has a rich history of community service. In the 1980s and early 90s, working with the Magic Johnson Foundation, ACT UP, and World Vision with Arsenio Hall. Kate supported the Gay African American community during the HIV/AIDS crisis in LA. Her efforts in North Long Beach, Watts, Compton, and South-Central LA involved delivering meals and providing support. All people deserve support, communication and camaraderie, especially when life is hard, setting a precedent for our studio’s community-focused ethos.

Sustainable Practices in Tattooing

In a city that ceased recycling in 2013, Tattoo Box is committed to sustainability. We’ve reduced plastic use and waste to minimize our environmental footprint. Our actions are a conscious effort to protect environment and align with our philosophy of being responsible and mindful citizens.

Supporting Local and Global Communities near me

Tattoo Box has been actively involved in numerous local initiatives, including sponsorship for Rock Camp For Girls and Project 10 LGBT charity. We’ve also contributed to ATQ and provide food to Chez Doris, a women’s shelter in Westmount. As some hipsters who forgot their orders from Lufa Farms, Tattoo Box would collect the vegetables and meats and bring it to Chez Doris Kitchen. Kate would also collect umbrellas all year round to donate to the Catholic congregation of Saint-Boniface on Ave Des Pins. Clients would abandon umbrellas all year round in the tattoo studio and those that we could not return would go to the kind people at the church next door to our shop. These efforts reflect our deep connection to the local community and our desire to give back.

A Safe Haven for Art and Expression

Our studio is a safe space where clients from around the world, regardless of their background or circumstances, can express themselves through art. We continue to uphold the highest standards of safety in tattooing, ensuring a welcoming and inclusive environment for all.
